Re: [news] Teacher who was fired after fertility treatments sues diocese

Apparently then the real "sin" was being honest and open about what she was doing.  How dare she make visible (even if indirectly) that Catholic dogma is just plain nuts.  They claim to be "pro-life" and then they discriminate against someone who want to use technology to support generating new life.  If the Catholic theory is against things that are "unnatural" then to be consistent that have to be against antibiotics, surgery, pesticides, fertilizer, railroads, modern communications technology and the vast array of other "unnatural" technology that supports human life on this planet.

A teacher at a Catholic school in Indiana is suing the diocese where she worked after being fired because the in vitro fertilization treatments she received were considered against church teachings.
Emily Herx, a former English teacher at St. Vincent de Paul School in Fort Wayne, filed a federal lawsuit against the school and the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.
She says in the suit filed Friday that she was discriminated against in 2011 after the school's pastor found out that she had begun treatments with a fertility doctor, according to the complaint.
Herx says the school's priest called her a "grave, immoral sinner" and told her she should have kept mum about her fertility treatments because some things are "better left between the individual and God," the complaint said.
